Socioeconomic status and motor coordination function among children with autism

Low income of a family is associated with a higher risk of probable DCD among autism children. The linkage between higher education of the mother and probable DCD could be attributed to more grandparenting among these families. This is the first research exploring the association between socio-demographic factors and the motor coordination function of autism. It comes from a set of low/middle-income countries with limited sources of autism in the Asian area, and comprehensive SES factors are considered. We recommend more support to autism children from low-income families, especially motor-related intervention.
